I have been trying to instal elasticsearch with all its components; the first time it was great but I'm a beginner in in IT, so I decided unistall it to practice, them when I tried to install it again, I got the error I mentioned before.

I gotta be honest guys! I didn't know that when you uninstall elasticsearch you uninstall its components, so i tried to uninstall kibana too, but I think I deleted files that might be I've shouldn't.

this is the guide I used to install it [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-18-04-es](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-elasticsearch-logstash-and-kibana-elastic-stack-on-ubuntu-18-04-es)

The server has Ubuntu 18.4 and it has nginx intalled correcty.

I hope you can help me please!

What URL are you trying to hit when getting the 404? Can you reach your ES cluster or is that not up either?
